Yulina N.
Publisher: КАНОН +. Москва 2004.
Yulina’s book describes the concept of consciousness and the self as theorized by Daniel Dennett, one of the brightest representatives of contemporary philosophical thought in the United States.
Dennett’s theory is interesting in its attempt to give a consistently materialist explanation of the problem of consciousness utilizing Darwin’s theory as well as other approaches used in cognitive science and studies of artificial intelligence. The author examines Dennett’s ideas in the context of discussions in English speaking philosophy.
